more miles

Mon PM - 10.3 miles easy with the Soul Runners, 1:31:35. Lots of beer afterwards.

Tues AM - Awesome fartlek workout with the Sunrise Striders. 4 x 8 minutes hard, 4 minutes RBI. Really pushed it today. Harsha and Rick H were talking lots of smack on the last one, but by the time they finally shut up and noticed I had pulled away there wasn't much they could do. Twelve miles total, 1:42:34.

My 25th anniversary special edition Nike Pegasus that I bought on sale for 60 bones from the CRC last November went over 600 miles last night. Probably won't last much longer, they're literally starting to fall apart, the upper is separating away from the sole. Won't even be able to use 'em as hash shoes. Think they just might have one last long run left in 'em though.

Ended this mornings run in the parking lot where I work, and there was a USA Olympic van there around 7:30AM. And two guys standing outside, with a stopwatch and clipboard. They were there with USA Boxing. A few seconds later, the Olympic boxing team turns the corner and runs by, all wearing baggy sweats with the hoods up and shadow boxing as they ran. Pretty cool.

Good Run, Man. Way to pick it up at the end.
